Pros: well made and sturdy, textured panel and color matches the oem A/C controls panel, decent fit if you reuse your oem plastic white/yellow clips. No issues with the clock and hazard lights button and everything bolted up well. Allows you to reuse your oem radio brackets that hold the head unit better as well as give you more freedow of adjustment.
Cons: Those stupid white snap clips that hold the radio panel to the dash. I lost three in the process of adjusting the headunit, so I reused the clips from the oem radio panel. The curved lip piece that surround the head unit could be better fit and better made since right now it has somewhat of a curved edged at the corners that leave too much open space betwee it and the head unit
My main issues are with the quality of product. Cut and finish on the top is poor with jagged unfinished edges that can be seen once installed, it is like where they tore the plastic from the molds they were using and didn't bother to do anything more to clean it up. The top left also does not clip into place so it sticks out a little because it just can't clip in. Unit will wiggle around when touched but what's worse is there is not a lot of support for the head unit and when using touchscreen, head unit will flex back and forth. I also think that the plastic feels like it is of low quality. No positives for me unfortunately and I will try my luck with the Scosche.
So I start trying to put this together and make heads or tails of all the little plastic bits. Next thing that jumps out at me- the instructions are pretty terrible. I got just enough out of them to kinda sorta figure out how everything works. I start assembling it following the directions for an ISO single-DIN radio. Once I'm about at the point of mounting the head unit in the "correct" adapter/pocket, I start noticing how janky the brackets for this setup are- apparently you're supposed to use a single screw into a screw insert you pop into a factory hole in the dash, and near as I can figure (from the awful instructions), that's all that's really supposed to hold your radio? WTF? I didn't finish the install like that, as the little sheet metal screws supplied (WTF again, my ISO DIN radio has M5 threaded holes, why use sheet metal screws?) were too small to bite into my Alpine.
That's when I read the rest of the instructions, and facepalm. For a double-DIN radio, you take the nice metal side brackets off the OE radio, which securely bolt to the dash with 4x M6 bolts, and reuse them on your radio. Well WTF #3, if I can mount a double DIN radio all nice and proper like that, why don't I mount my single-DIN and an old universal DIN pocket that same way? So I go rummage through my stuff, but unfortunately can't find a DIN pocket laying around. I ended up buying a "universal" old school double-DIN dash kit from Worst Buy, just to use that pocket. Lest you wonder why I don't just use the pocket that this kit comes with- it's molded to the silly adapter bezel I tried to use initially, and lacks side mounting points to use the OE metal brackets.
TLDR- It's not a bad kit, but it's totally handicapped by the fact that instead of including a janky, proprietary pocket/bracket for a single-DIN head, they should've just included a universal single-DIN pocket, and had you re-use the OE brackets either way. Using their pocket/bracket is 100% inferior to doing that, and I can't imagine how the radio would be at all secure, not just from theft but just from normal, everyday driving.
